Departure from Valbonnais (Isère)
A lovely route between Valbonnais and Entraigues. This peaceful valley, surrounded by high peaks, allows us to discover the two villages and the 14th-century irrigation systems.

Very difficult
Departure from Chantelouve (Isère)
Ascent to Le Rochail from the hamlet of Les Bosses via Lac du Vallon.
A very interesting route, both visually and technically.
Be careful, however, as the slopes are steep and the ridge walk between the Col du Rochail and the summit can be dizzying.

Departure from Le Périer (Isère)
A lovely, cool walk to a remarkable waterfall. On the way back, don't miss the viewpoint over the valley with the ruins of the Château du Serre de la Casse. There are still a few houses in Confolens. You can go further than the waterfall and reach (after a few hours!) the GR®54B ridge walk overlooking the Lauvitel.

Extremely difficult
Departure from Chantelouve (Isère)
At 3,049m, Pointe de Malhaubert is the highest of the peaks surrounding Lac du Vallon above Chantelouve, offering a unique, unobstructed 360° panorama of all the Alpine massifs.Ibex, chamois and griffon vultures frequent the nearby peaks and slopes.
Warning:Reaching the summit requires proficiency in ridge walking (grade 3 climbing, with constant exposure) both on the ascent and descent. The snowfields require crampons and an ice axe, as well as an early start.

Departure from Chantelouve (Isère)
A technicolour skyline route…
After a gruelling 500m climb on a more or less pleasant track, the forest finally opens out. At around 2,100m, the adventure begins. You need to make your way to the summit of Les Clottoux as best you can.
From up there, the rest of the route is clear. A ridge walk to Le Neyrard, then above Lac du Vallon to La Berche Noire.
